The rpm installation of tomcat includes a start up script that is placed in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ which allows tomcat to be started up on reboot. However, the service is not added by default. Tomcat can be made to start up by using chkconfig

It's possible to write your own script, if you want to have a look at the script I can send you a copy of the script that
the rpm installs.

I currently develop on a Win2K box where I simply run Tomcat in its own dos box.


But I want to deploy on a linux Box, and following on from Yoav's advice that
Tomcat can do everything I want, I don't need to worry about Apache. What I'm
not sure on is how to start Tomcat as a daemon/service on the linux box.


To be honest, I haven't tried to research it yet, it just popped into my head
now and thought I'd ask. But from what I remember from when I was first reading
up on it, I don't recall there being anything stating howto.


Is it just a case of I start it up and have to devote a whole virtual terminal
to it? Or can I run it in the background with '&'?
Or is there actually a way to make a service/daemon of it?


A simple pointer to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
